We really enjoyed our stay here! When you book the accomodation, you can make the jungle trek here as well. We did the tour with Mester, Lius and his team and it was a great time! Thank you guys :) The whole staff at the guesthouse is very friendly. We would recommend staying here.

Cozy atmosphere and staff were super friendly and helpful. Was a pleasure meeting them and the food was great too! They helped organised everything for me including transfer from the airport and my next destination. The jungle trek was an amazing experience and booked through the accomodation which made it super simple. Had a brilliant stay here, unique environment and lovely staff made sure I had a great time.

Bryan, you have to rise the price for the bigger house. It's to low for the standard you offer ;) Wish you best bro.

Wonderful, authentic place with great, friendly owners family staff. Bryan, the owner of the place is a truly exceptional person with mind-blowing story of his live. Don't let his name mislead you - he is as "local" as nobody else in the village. Maybe he will tell you if you are sincerely interested. He takes care of everything, including the exceptional guides he hires. Rosit, who was our guide is a great guide and person. His assistant Gunawan was also very professional and helpful. We've had a wonderful experience there.

This guesthouse is truly a gem, Brian makes sure you have an amazing stay! You can tell he really cares about his guests. The room and bathroom are very clean and comfortable. The food is incredible too (plenty of vegan and vegetarian options)! I did a 2 night jungle trek with them as well and everything was very well organised, great food and fruit on the trek, comfortable campsites by the river and close to a waterfall. You could tell that the guide really enjoyed being in nature, he had so much knowledge about the animals and plants and made us feel really safe. I got a bee sting and he had magic oil that made the sting disappear in just 30 min! I had a really great stay and trek with Brian and his team and definitely recommend them and would definitely come back one day! :)

Very noisy at night as big parties and a noisy road nearby.

Did the jungle trek with Rosit and Gunawang and thoroughly enjoyed! Lovely guides and Saw HEAPS of orangutans, and the dinners, cooked nightly by erowin are restaurant quality feasts - totally unexpected given we were in the middle of the jungle! Highly recommend. It’s worth noting that the expectation with Thomas leaf monkey guesthouse is that you book the jungle trek through them - I imagine this is the same with all accoms in Bukit lawang but just noting. That said the trek is great! Brian from Thomas leaf monkey guesthouse is very helpful and organised transport to/from Medan as well as trips to the ATM (which is 15min by scooter) from the village. Lovely family.

Bryan and his family run the guesthouse, and they are amazing. The bungalows are very comfortable, and the food is great. Bryan helps you with your jungle experience. I travel alone, and he was like a friend to me thank you, brother! But the best part of all was Mester, the guide with I spent three days in the jungle. It was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life, and it was all thanks to him. What a kind heart that man has! I love that guy ♥️

Brian has done a great job and still has plans to revamp the bathroom.

I loved the family … nothing was too much trouble for them. The garden was a haven of peace. And the vegetable curry was amazing

Stayed in February 2025

Nothing. It was ideal

The bed was very comfortable. Fast and affordable laundry service. Nice clean big room. Perfect for reorganising my stuff after a trek and getting some good shut eye. Also Brian and Sarah (owners) were super kind and helpful. Plus great banana pancakes and coffee for breakfast

This was a totally perfect stay in Bukit Lawang and if I could give this an 11 I would! Brian and his family are all so helpful and kind, answering any questions we had and making us feel at home at their beautiful guest house. We arrived and Brian helped us organise a two day, one night jungle trek which completely exceeded all of our expectations. The team were extremely knowledgable about the rainforest, stopping to tell us not only about all the incredible animals, but also the fauna we saw on our way. The food both on the trek and at the guest house was delicious! Can't recommend this place highly enough

I had a wonderful experience at the Sumatra Thomas Leaf Monkey Hotel. They helped to arrange everything for me. The jungle trek was great and we were fed so much food that we could not finish it all. Brian explained so many things to us and we got to see many animals.

The interior is very simplistic and feels a little cold, if you only stay overnight for the jungle tour (which I had at another place), I'm sure it is a great option

Brian is a great owner who can tell you a lot about the village, cute houses, calm location

We booked the accommodation together with a 2D1N Jungletrekking. We were unable to move into the accommodation on the first evening as another guest who was ill was unable to leave the room. Instead, we were given a great room in another accommodation and were driven to dinner by Raja and Satya on a scooter and later back home again. The next morning, we were driven to the Sumatra Thomas Leaf Monkey Guesthouse together with our luggage. Our jungle trekking started from there. The house was small, we had a bed and a fan. We had the house with the direct bathroom connection. The room was clean and the showers with the cool water were good! (There is no hot water anywhere in the village) It was especially great to sit together with the staff in the communal area in the evening, playing games, talking or singing. The food in the accommodation was very tasty and not too spicy! After our jungle trekking, we were able to have our laundry washed easily and cheaply at the accommodation. All the staff were super nice, helpful and funny at all times. We felt completely at ease!

Maybe it would be good to provide bed linnen in the rooms, instead of the pluche covers for a cleaner feel. :)

Brian and his staff are very kind and welcoming. If you are planning to do a jungle trek, this is a perfect accomodation. At first we were a bit shocked by the price of the jungle trek (2.600.000 rupia for 2D1N per person), but after asking around it seemed like a reasonable price. As for the accomodation, there is a nice common seating area, where you can have breakfast, lunch & dinner and chat with other tourists. The room itself is alright. The beds are clean and our room had its own shower. Although there was no warm water, it was alright for us.

Nothing, ik is just great!

The location is great, within walking distance of the shops and the river. Close to the jungle, you can see the monkeys playing in the jungle next to the resort. Brian and his team do everything to make you have the best experiance. They arranged transport from and to Medan for a good price. The food on site is excellent! And in the evening they even played live acoustic music, even when there were just 2 guests. The Jungletrek was also very well organised. They go the extra mile to make sure to spot the Orang Oetangs, we saw about 20 including the Alpha-male. No doubt 10/10! Would stay there again with pleasure.

Fantastic guest house. We actually saw Thomas Leaf Monkey's in the garden on our arrival : ) Brian & Sarah were fantastic. Very welcoming and helpful, as were the whole team. The jungle trek (we did 2D1N) was incredible. We saw so many animals. The guides, Jerry & Gunar were brilliant and loads of fun too. Plus the food provided during the trek was delicious. Highly recommend using these guys.

If you're looking for a trekking experience that leaves you feeling like you've not only experienced the jungle, but also had an experience with friends, I can only recommend Thomas Monkey Leaf. We had a lot of fun, terima kasih. Gunawan and Sattiya were really great! :)
